Bursaries for the Indigenous Student
ANTCO prides itself on being an integral part of the Indigenous community. We know that students are often doing their best to meet the expectations and pressures of their education while at the same time balancing the financial obligations and expenses of being a student and this is why we are pleased to be able to offer three (3) student bursaries.
All Nations Trust Company (ANTCO) / Bank of Montreal (BMO) Bursary
The endowment established in 1995 will provide an annual bursary to an Indigenous student who has completed one year of study at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). Preference is given to a student who demonstrates participation in community activities or organizations. Applications are processed through TRU. Please indicate on the application your Indigenous Community (settlement, band name). Apply online: Awards Office – Online (myTRU).
School District 73 – Grade 12 Student Bursary ($500.00)
ANTCO has designed a bursary to reward Indigenous students of School District 73 who have demonstrated courage and commitment to overcome obstacles and successfully complete grade 12. This Bursary recognizes the determination and dedication of these exceptional students who believe in their own abilities and have the will power to persevere and succeed despite tremendous barriers and challenges in their lives.
Ruth Williams Bursary ($2,500)
ANTCO has developed an annual award to honour the legacy of former CEO and Order of BC recipient, Ruth Williams. This bursary is for students that are pursuing post-secondary education and/or entrepreneurial related activities. This bursary is open to Indigenous students residing in or originally from British Columbia.
